File Management option to permanently remove files
At the File Management screen:-
Select type of file in the left pane (e.g. Part lists)
● Select file(s)
● Select: File - Delete
or
Select the Toolbar option
The program prompts to confirm:-
For optimisations (runs) the program deletes all the files associated with the run.
Delete Full
This option deletes ALL files for an optimisation (run) including the Part list and Board list where they have different names from the run.
● Select: Edit - Delete Full
or
Select the Toolbar option
The full delete option also removes files with the following extensions of the part list name, for example for PARTS1
PARTS1.BRD
PARTS1.PTN
PARTS1.ORI
Notes
- If no files are selected - deletes file on which the cursor is placed.
Delete Run files - Take extra care when to delete a run file because this deletes all files associated with the run, for example:-
00023.PTN - pattern file
00023.CUT - cutting dimension file
00023.XBD - offcut file
00023.STP - strip file (strip optimiser)
00023.PRL - parts
00023.BRD - boards
00023.PRM - optimising parameters
00023.SPM - saw parameters
The deletion does not remove the original part list, boards and parameter files where these are not the same as the run number. For example, if a run consisted of the following files only those marked with a * are deleted:-
** 00023.PTN - pattern file
** 00023.CUT - cutting dimension file
** X00023.XBD - offcut file
** 00023.STP - strip file (strip optimiser)
TEST.PRL - parts
TEST.BRD - boards
STANDARD.PRM - optimising parameters
- 'Delete' and 'Delete Full' are also available from a pop-up menu (right click with mouse)
- .skt file is not removed as this relates to products not parts
